I have no idea what I'm doing...

...in pretty much every respect right now.

So I'm starting a blog.  I have no idea what I'm going to do with it.  It's an adventure, we'll see...  but now seems like a really great time to be doing this.

I leave to start my summer graduate program at Central Washington University in a week.  I'll be earning a MA in Theatre Production.  And I have no idea what I'm doing.  I haven't written a paper since college, and honestly, I'm not too sure what's expected of me when I get out there.  I usually have an issue with uncertainty, but this time (even though I'm kind of scared out of my wits!) I'm really excited to go to a new place, meet new people and be totally immersed in all kinds of theatre classes for 5 weeks.  And when I say totally immersed, I'm talking 6 or 7 days a week, 8:30-5:30 in-class awesomeness.

I'm wrapping up my 8th year in the same school I've been teaching at since I graduated from college.    I've just this year come to the conclusion that I enjoy what I'm doing.  With all the stresses, frustrations, irritations, and craziness that sometimes distract me from what I do, when it comes down to it, I love teaching theatre.  I wasn't so sure of that in years past, but now, I think this is what I want to do.  Something this year just "clicked," and I've finally settled into what I think is a really good thing.  We'll see if grading exams next week has any effect on that...  ;)

Here's to the start of a new adventure!
